Saturns moons.

[mikemasey]

Is there a program that will give me the potion of saturns moons like the jupiter one does?

[MikeyB]

Hi, Mike - you and me both! Jupiter 2 is brilliant, similar software for Saturn would be perfect.

[Kevnool]

Starry night does this but it comes at a price.
cheers Kev.

Like this (with XPlanet rendering). The labels for Enceladus and Titan overlap.

i agree with KEVNOOL starry night will do the job, it is expensive but well worth getting.

Stellarium shows seven moons.:thumbsup:

[MikeyB]

Speaking of Stellarium, I'm struggling with the latest version - on-screen text (names, descriptions, etc), appears in gibberish characters as in the pic attached.:confused2: Any helpful suggestions will be gratefully received.

[Kevnool]

Oh Dear :shrug: Sorry but dont have stelarium.

Cheers Kev.

[stattonb]

stelarium is good for freeware but put the extra cash in to get Starry Nights i been using it for years now and it beats most out there,not just for Saturns moons but for everything. if your after info on Saturn try http://www.saturnsoftware.co.uk/ hpe this helps

For those having problems with stellarium, try version r6110 , it fixed my problems:

[mikemasey]

This is just what the Dr ordered, but how do I get it on to my computer?
Cant get on with Carte du ciel (at all) and already have stelliaim which I use, just wanted to see if there was an easier thing to use.

[Darth Wader]

Don't think you can sorry... It's a javascript program so you can only launch it in your browser.

[mikemasey]

Eh?:question:

http://www.midnightkite.com/dansoftware.html (older DOS type program, works fine in Windows XP)

[mikemasey]

Hey coen, this program is just fine but can I put it Onto my computer so that I dont have to be on the internet all the time. Or am I doing somthing wrong(which is very lightly)
tx mike.

[Coen]

Internet only required to download the program, once installed (or in the DOS program case unzipped to a folder) it stands alone needing no other bits and pieces.
